The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

Itโ€™s Jontyโ€™s time to curry sympathy this week and heโ€™s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jontyโ€™s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilsonโ€™s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; Iโ€™m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in โ€œRough with the Smoothโ€.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedroโ€™s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Hi guys, just your thoughts and any suggested changes to my WC team would be great! Have Sanchez and Westwood but not sure if I should change them to Coutinho and Shaqiri/Ritchie.

    Butland (Myhill)

    Kolorov Lovren Huth (Shaw Francis)

    Silva Sanchez Chadli Mahrez (Westwood)

    Aguero Diouf Gomis

      If Pellegrini did manage to beat Flores with Malaga, when the latter was at Atletico, and has 100% victory when at R.Madrid, I am 99% sure Man City will win easily.
      They are both good managers but as you can see, the squad strength determined the result.

      I'm predicting a 3-0 win for M.City

      3 promoted sides looks good fixture wise for a rotation, then I remember it means backing 3 relegation candidates to be good defensively. I'm never keen on defensive rotations like this because it usually means backing teams like this. I'd rather take 2x 4.5 rotation and take Turner as 3.9 bench fodder.

        And yes relying on promoted team to keep CS is like dealing with the devil. Going to see how Stoke/BOU/WAT looks in a fixture chain.

          I see it slightly differently.

          I am happy to carry a 4.0/3.9 defender. How often do you use your 5th defender? Team value is low right now. I am carrying Targett. Later when value gets higher he can easily become a 4.5.

          Cash is tight now and that .5 can really help up top. Just my opinion!

    Morning All. Ive got that uneasy feeling that i have a good team this week. Never a good sign!

    Butland
    Darmain/ Gomez/Targett
    Hazard/Sanchez/Yaya/ Maherez
    Aguero (C)/ Wilson/ Gomis

    McCarthy/Richards/Westwood/Williams

    0FT 1.1M ITB

    I wont bore you with the Darmain/William/ Richards starting spot. Read enough on here to see its a coin toss

    I want to ask, longer term how do i get Gomis to Benteke? Mini league is my one priority and 90% of teams have him, he could really do me some damage. Longer term Hazard to Pedro if hes a viable source of points to raise cash? thing is im only about .3 off doing it now.

    Any thoughts really welcome

    Took a -4 hit this week to bring in pedro and kolarov. I'm playing the market and trying to rack up my team value, so I thought the -4 is justified.

    Pedro - Sanchez - Yaya - Mahrez (Westwood)
    Aguero - Benteke - Gomis

            I think the thing is almost all of his shots are from decent chances so last season he had a better conversion rate than the likes of Kun and Benteke (and this season).

              Looks like he takes less less shots per game than most other strikers. Interesting to see if he can keep up the conversion rate.

    I'm willing to bring in Kolarov (even for a hit).

    However, Pellegrini always rotates Clichy/Kolarov in at the most inconvenient moments.

    That's my only doubt. How can we know this time its different? Short-term to long-term.

      On current form Pellegrini would be stupid to drop Kolarov. As the scoutcast guys say, he's probably worth the -4 hit as there's a high chance of making it back straight away as well as score some extras.

      Never say never of course, and if you're hesitant then just wait for the team news.

          I'm a United fan and I'm benching Shaw. We do look solid so far, but haven't come up against a team that's really attacked us yet and Swansea will definitely do that (beat us home and away last year).

          I'm predicting a score draw. Maybe we'll knick it (I hope), but the Swans are looking strong.
